Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Ethanol Addition in the Combustion Process During Warm-UPS and Half Open Throttle on Port-Injection Gasoline EngineBeny Cahyono, Rosli Abu BakarProblem statement: Ethanol is an alternative fuel with huge potential that can be used in gasoline engines. Addition of ethanol in fuel will affect the fuel properties, fuel properties change will affect the engine performance. Approach: To determine the effect of adding ethanol to gasoline engines, in this study are tested using gasoline, ethanol 10 and 20% ethanol. Results: Testing … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2011 · 8,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo Source Emission Behavior of Helium Projectile Fragments in 84Kr Interactions at Around 1 GeV per nucleonManoj Kumar Singh, Arun Kumar Soma, Ramji Pathak et al.Problem statement: The emission of helium projectile fragments has been studied in 84Kr interactions with nuclei of the nuclear emulsion detector at relativistic energies below 2 GeV per nucleon. Approach: The angular distribution of helium projectile fragments in terms of transverse momentum could not be explained by a straight and clean-cut collision geometry hypothesis of Participant-Spectator (PS) Model. Results: Therefore, … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 6,791 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaboratory Scale of Liquid Coal Fuel Combustion Process and Exhaust Gas FormationKartika Kus Hendratna, Osami Nishida, Hirotsugu Fujita, Wataru HaranoProblem statement: Much research of coal has been already undertaken to ascertain the possibilities of coal being used as substitute for heavy fuel oil in the transportation sector. The effects of using coal as transportation fuel to the environment must also be considered. This study will review several aspects of the coal oil combustion process including combustion behavior, flame stability, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 6,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlkali Pretreatment and Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cattails from Constructed WetlandsBo Zhang, Abolghasem Shahbazi, Lijun Wang et al.Problem statement: To date, production of liquid fuel, particularly ethanol, has only been economically feasible from food crops that are high in sugar and starch. However, the use of arable land for fuel rather than for food production and the use of a food source for fuel rather than as food have created issues in prices and availability of traditional … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,105 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFocusing of the Flow Capture for Local Exhaust Ventilation SystemsS. Y. Spotar, A. L. SorokinProblem statement: The extraction hoods commonly used as inlet element of the local ventilation systems exhibit limited emission capture over moderate distances from the source of the hazardous emissions. Proposed inclusion of a swirling peripheral jet was found to increase the effective length over which the extraction hood successfully captures harmful fumes. However information on a detailed pattern field of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,329 accessesView PDFCite
